NASA landsat-7 Project

ice oceans radar satellite imagery

Description

This data set, part of the NASA's Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, provides a complete 15 m resolution image mosaic of the Greenland ice sheet, derived from USGS Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery and Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) RADARSAT-1 imagery from the years 1999 to 2002. Additional bands (some at 30 m resolution) are provided for each tile in the mosaic and are useful for understanding surface properties, such as snow grain size, bedrock outcrops, mapping layering in the snow, and blue ice or lake-filled regions, during the spring and summer months. The panchromatic (band 8) mosaic provides the highest-resolution view of the ice sheet surface at 15 m, resolving topographic features, large crevasses, and other geophysical structures. See Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) for related data.

NSIDC-0714

This data set, part of the NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, provides a complete land ice and ocean classification mask for the Greenland ice sheet, that was mapped using a combination of USGS Landsat 7 ETM+ panchromatic band imagery, and the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) RADARSAT-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) amplitude images. See Greenland Ice Mapping Project (GIMP) for related data.
